teaching my mobile a word
11 Answers
i must be missing something when texting on my new phone.
On my old one, it would learn new words and afetr so many uses automatically store them. Or there was an option to spell a word and enter it into the dictionary.
With my new monte carlo, no matter how many times i spell my daughters name, it won't remember it!
Also, even on ABC, rather than T9, it won't let me spell words, it just keeps guessing and there's no option to say 'no, none of them you idiot!'
Do you think i am being an idiot? Surely it should be easier and better, with a new up-to-date model??

Well there is the option, forget the predictive text feature. Would be a pain though. Maybe the handset needs resetting ?
No newer stuff isn't generally easier or better. It fits in more features you will never use, could be smaller so you don't hit the right keys. Maybe louder. But for sure not easier. I'm using a so called "smart phone", my first, and as soon as I need a new one I'm going back to a proper keyboard one. Just sick of it pretending I hit keys that I don't, or don't hit keys that I do, and bringing up menus that weren't asked for, and changing things when I'm not looking, or trying to encourage me to delete conversations that I've no intention of deleting. I don't know how many cherries went into the making of it, but it really is the pits.

no, that's what i'm saying - even without predictive, it won't let me spell a word out. When i'm on normal keypad, it won't let me ABC names. Her friends name is Elle, and when i try and spell it, it gives me ellen. I try to backspace but the whole word disappears!
My daughter 's name is stevie and it will only give me steve or steven! Again, if i try and backspace that last e in steve, to add ie, it just deletes the whole word. very very very annoying!
